Are you using any check valves in the pickup lines? or a foot valve in the tanks? Or do you feel they aren't needed?
I have each unit on its own dedicated breaker at the helms. Often times I have to shut off the FLIR and restart it to wake it up and bring it...
Doesn't the IP camera also have an additional RJ45 port on the camera? Seems to me that it can be both IP and hardwired, better just hardwired....
Yes, I could see the point of my crew when we were running inside through the maze of markers and shoaling. Thank goodness for Aqua Maps as well...
Not certain if sarcastic or not....but I'll go on record that North-Up simply suits the way my mind works. I had a shift prior this last run...
I like this route as well. Only traveled it once, but it would likely be my return path if making the trip again. But that's coming off the east...
Glad that you stepped down. No need for being on top of that soap box to begin with, as in doing so you're not much better than those with the...
The use of 5200 is pretty much a no-brainer. In addition, thinning the first coat of an epoxy complete with a light application is a very good...
The rough finish on your surface could be old paint, but it could also simply be a lack of sanding between early coats. The first coats will...
In addition, the run and planned stop in Key West gives you a lot of time to shake the boat out, confirm your burns and speeds, and to play with...

Agreed strongly. I think 2 gallons per mile is a really safe number with which to work. Hull speed for the boat is just under 10 knots....
lol, yep...
Well, once you've allowed it to swell and seal, you won't need to wait any longer...? In the future that swelling process won't be as significant...
You're going to see that in an oil test as well...
Potential fire shut down system to close the vents in the event of fire??
You ask the questions, and I'll likely give you the answers. I know these boats almost as well as Burger. Your windlass is an Ideal, and there's...
Keep me posted with your timing if headed off shore. I'm in Sag Harbor right now, and I'll be headed out around Montauk around 10/20 and headed...
Your cruise is 10 knots. Enjoy it. 11 is available without stress, but the fuel begins to burn exponentially, and the engines feel the effort....
They'd have a tremendous little run buying back their fleet from the 60's and 70's, refitting them to modern spec, and re-issuing hull numbers....
